King Charles IIIjust rocked an unexpected accessory.
The British monarch, 74, stepped out in Norfolk near the Sandringham Estate on Sunday to attend a church service, taking some time to greet well-wishers gathered outside. At first glance, the King was sporting a usual style: a suit and tie, covered with a long jacket. But he added some fun to his ensemble with a patterned pink tie featuring blue dinosaurs.
King Charlespreviously spoke about his approach to fashionin a 2020 interview with BritishVogue.
“I thought I was like a stopped clock — I’m right twice every 24 hours. But . . . I’m very glad you think it has style,” he told the magazine.
The royal has a reputation for mending and repairing his bespoke leather shoes and patching up old suits that are handmade in tailors' haven, Saville Row, in London.
“I’m one of those people who hate throwing anything away. Hence, I’d rather have them maintained, even patched if necessary, than to abandon them. The difficulty is, as you get older, you tend to change shape, and it’s not so easy to fit into the clothes. I can’t bear any waste, including food waste; I’d much rather find another use,” he explained toBritishVogue.

WhenBritish Vogueeditor Edward Enninful asked if the royal had considered wearing something new for such an occasion, Charles replied, “I’ve considered it. But in the case of that particular morning coat, as long as I can go on getting into it, I only wear it a few times a year, in the summer, so obviously you want to keep those sorts of things going.”
“But if I can’t fit into them, then I just have to have something new made,” he continued. “But I’m not sure quite how radically different they can be at my age.”
